Just 3 km off the coast of Dakar, the Île de Gorée reveals itself, small in size but
with a vast history. A poignant testimony to three centuries of slavery, it is
now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accessible by boat with several
departures per day, the island offers an unforgettable journey back in time.
The tour begins with the Slave House, the last remaining building still standing in Gorée, from where
millions of men, women, and children were torn from their land to be
deported to American plantations.
Lunch is planned on the island, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful and unique atmosphere of this
place steeped in history.
In the afternoon, drop-off in Dakar for an immersive experience in the vibrant Senegalese capital:
Independence Square, a symbol of a free
Senegal,
